ABSTRACT
Since 2009, there has been a rapid growth of terrorist activities in Nigeria. This however, has grouped Nigeria as one of the highest terrorist states in the globe ranging from the Boko Haram insurgence in Maidugure, Borno State to Umar Farouk Abulmatallab’s suicide bombing attempt on first December, 2009 and the most recent case of Michael Adebalojo and his brother, Mujaheed who killed an English soldier in Woolwich London on a broad-day-light. This research seeks to examine the legal and social implications of suicide bombing and terrorism in Nigeria however, the research still looks at the following (1) the evolution of terrorism and suicide bombing (2) the causes of suicide bombing and terrorism (3) X-ray both national and international statutes and treaties (if any) on suicide bombing and terrorism.
